Rainbow Trout Again

Bret caught this great looking Rainbow Trout earlier in the season during the spring. Healthy coloring: white ventrally to pink to olive dorsally. This was a great spot in Deerfield where you could wade out into the river.

Rainbows, especially from the mountain west, sure can fight. Nice catch

Awesome blog, and great catch! I realise you haven't updated here in quite a while now, but perhaps I could persuade you to give your blog a second life over on Glipho? We're a new social blogging site, and many of our community are keen fishermen themselves- I know they would love to read through and discuss your work here! If you get a minute, come have a look at http;//glipho.com and see what you think. You can import posts over from here to Glipho too, without affecting your existing blog at all. It's pretty handy!

Thanks for your time, and the cool blog. I hope to see you return to blogging soon!

All the best,

Teo

One of the best places to go fishing is in the southeast region. If you plan to fish in the area, you should definitely stay at the Southeast Alaska fishing lodges.

Fishing Laws of the Land

1. Smash your barbs.

Probably the most important rule. Every hook (or tri-hook) has a barb (see image) by taking a pair of pliers and pressing the barb back against the hook you can De-barb a hook. This is important for two reasons. First, Its easier to remove the hook; The fish can be caught but not ensnared to the point where it cant be removed. Second, it is Less Harmful to the fish.

2. Catch and Release. If you catch a great looking fish throw it back so it can make babies and more beautiful fish. The more the fish certain spots the more docile fish will be once you catch them. Fish, after a period of "training" will actually behave less violently each time they are successfully returned to the river unharmed.

3. Don't go through the hassle of getting a fishing license until you get caught, after all you aren't harming the environment..

4. Don't litter. Maybe toss a butt here and there but keep a bag for trash, empty beers, excess line (can harm fish & wildlife severely). a cigarette butt pollutes 4 gallons of water.
